A heavy aircraft that tries to use the ability to stack high defense with the radio navigation and phased radar array to ignore the majority of the night time penalty on interception missions. This can only fight effectively at night, but its at least efficient at something. Also like half of its potential bonuses are interception mission only, but that is a niche rather than the void howling sweet nothing's at us. __________ Uses self-sealing fuel tanks and strategic material uses to bring the IC cost down, but you can build this removing both if you are a nation like Germany who lacks rubber but has aluminum, or if you are wealthy like the US, you can remove the strategic material usage for more range I guess, for those cross Atlantic air raids where you still win flying from Greenland or Iceland.

it looks fun to have an aircraft designed specifically for just night fighting when you are outnumbered by the enemy airforce!!

@Quimera298 If you have a long range fighter mio, this thing can get fat 25%+ agi mind you, which makes it way more effective as a terror of the skies that just happens to slay the night. If only there was a country with the worlds strongest long range medium fighter mio, with like 35% agility.... 25% speed on it.... Oh and 27% air attack.... Someone who eats a metric tons of burgers and can pull inf weapons 2 out of their hardware stores.... North.... American.... Avaition....

It would probably be a lot better if the night time penalties were larger, but alas, this cool idea is kinda maimed by the very light hand paradox has given night time. (If radar reduced weather penalties on the other hand....)
